How has being a member of GSA helped you advance in your career? Why do you think societies like GSA are important?

During my PhD studies, the GSA gave me opportunities to attend and present at conferences that would not have been possible without their support. This enabled me to form contacts and collaborations at a very early stage in my career. The GSA is an excellent resource for career development. The GENETICS and G3 journals are excellent resources for me and my students.
